Endolysin polyvinyl alcohol composite: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Bacterial contamination and skin microbiome imbalances lead to product spoilage and inflammatory conditions, which are mitigated by engineering stable phage-derived protein delivery systems. These formulations utilize specific polymer and polyol matrices to maintain enzymatic activity in anhydrous and oil-based environments.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Endolysin polyvinyl alcohol composite?

Epidermal barrier dysfunction

(24)evidences

Imbalances in bacterial skin flora lead to pathogenic colonization and inflammatory conditions. Restoring ecological equilibrium prevents dermatological disorders and maintains skin barrier integrity.

Protein instability in formulations

(13)evidences

Endolysins are highly susceptible to denaturation and loss of lytic activity when exposed to water or incompatible cosmetic bases. Stabilizing these enzymes ensures long-term antimicrobial efficacy in topical products.
